Well, the hubs and I are off to a golf tournament in Eufala, AL today. My plan is just to ride along in the golf cart, since I'm a total novice and am really just going to support him. And have some fun. With the country club set. Should be interesting! But I am so thrilled to share my next Inspiring Blogger Interview with you today! I've been a fan of The Mustard Ceiling for over a year and just love the variety Elizabeth brings to her … [Read more...]
I Can’t Resist: Spoonflower.com
February 24, 2012 by · 7 Comments
I'm working on a new venture I'll share with y'all next week (gotta have a full plate, you know!), but in the meantime, I wanted to share this with you... spotted in the pages of Country Living magazine. So the fabric caught my eye, of course, but what REALLY grabbed me is that this was generated by Spoonflower.com -- a site where you can upload your own design, photo, etc and CREATE your own fabric! Is this AWESOME or what? I have a … [Read more...]
Mom Cave Update {Art}
January 27, 2012 by · 2 Comments
I am mortified at how loooooong it took me to get my Mom Cave artwork up on the walls. Granted, I was waiting until I finished painting... and then life took over. And my art work sat. And sat. Last weekend, I finally bit the bullet, got out the hammer and picture hanging kit and.... voila! Gorgeous, no? I wish I could spirit away the printer/fax machine, but no can do... El Presidente (aka the hubs) works from home and out of this … [Read more...]
More Winter Decor {Family Room Pillows}
January 20, 2012 by · 2 Comments
It goes on and on, doesn't it? Refreshing decor, I mean. And I'll be crushed the day I'm no longer inspired to keep changing things up! One of my latest tweaks to the family room (part of a year-long refresh project, I might add) are some fabulous new pillows. The brown beast is hard sometimes to freshen up, but this year I got incredibly lucky! Kim from Savvy Southern Style was hosting a Pillows by Dezign giveaway back in … [Read more...]
Rearrange for a New Look!
January 4, 2012 by · 4 Comments
Hi gang, I'm still working on my new calendar (woo hoo-- don't you love a fresh new calendar??) and getting my posts lined up for the weeks ahead, so bear with me a bit for a few days. :) Today I thought I'd share my mom's living room and a rearrangment we tackled while I was visiting last week. My parents moved into a brand-spanking-new house last winter and have started from square one with furniture, too. Daunting, right? Well, Mom … [Read more...]
The Mom Cave {Sneak Peek}
October 26, 2011 by · 9 Comments
Oh, my gosh, I thought I would never finish the paint job in the Mom Cave, but it's D.O.N.E. I didn't think through this very well and ended up doing a lot more cutting in than I needed to, but... we're movin' on and putting the furniture back in place! Here was the purplicious-ness herself before: I love this shade of purple, but it was time for a change. I have to admit, when I started covering it up, I felt a few twinges of what am … [Read more...]
Easy Peasy Burlap Runner {DIY}
October 24, 2011 by · 14 Comments
I've been up to my elbows in the beast of a paint job that is my Mom Cave all weekend. For a while there, I thought I'd bitten off more than I can chew -- all the picture moldings, chair rail, plus the dark purple paint... it's been quite the project! But, man, is it looking good!! Can't wait to show you soon... In the meantime, I thought I'd share my easy tutorial on the burlap runner from my Fall tablescape. I picked up a yard … [Read more...]
Fall Tablescape {the details}
October 21, 2011 by · 6 Comments
Because you know my dining room can't stay this way indefinitely, here's the scoop on my tablescape! Remember my beloved Willow House Royal Street Urn? Can't get enough of her. The fleur de lis speaks my language. :) Click HERE to get yours! The sticks are straight out of my backyard, after a storm. I let them dry out in the garage for a couple of weeks so no critters would make their way into the house. Then I just added a couple of … [Read more...]
Got the Blues? {And Another Giveaway!}
March 16, 2011 by · 11 Comments
You're probably tired of reading about my passion for purple, so I thought I'd give it a rest and talk about another favorite... pops of blue. While I was brightening my family room decor, I worked in a fair amount of celery green because it blended so well with the upholstery and wall color I already had. But I also found myself adding a few fun touches of blue:Like this flea market find!I like having the flexibility to go … [Read more...]
